Dear Michael,

My girlfriend and I have been friends for 15 years. She has a charmed life. Her husband adores her and their two beautiful children. Recently, she started cheating on her husband; she went away for the weekend with her lover and told her husband that she was going to visit her sister in Chicago. I know it shouldn’t be me, but someone should tell her husband. I feel like calling him and having him come with me when I’m supposed to pick up my girlfriend and her lover at the airport.

Sincerely,
No Longer Best Friends
Dear No Longer Best Friend,

What bothers you the most? Are you jealous? You come across very judgmental as to what your girlfriend's attitude is toward her relationship. Are you out of your mind to tell her husband?! It’s her place to tell her husband. Your letter comes across bitter and jealous. Why don’t you try talking to your girlfriend and suggest that she be honest in her relationship. You don’t always know what happens behind closed doors, or what’s going on in their relationship.
